“She may be young, but her songwriting evoked a person who has lived out hundreds of stories. Murray’s vocals were tender with a hint on longing, a quality that endeared her to the crowd; as one local musician told me, “Her voice will break your heart.” It did in the best of ways. This was on full display in her current single, “Illusion,” a tale of conflict, love, and moving on. Murray’s partner, Lauren, is also her drummer. However, on this night, she performed her first live tune on the guitar on a duet; a lovely moment. Kathleen Murray is definitely one to watch.” |Seattle Music News

“As tender as you'd expect, delicious acoustics and a voice that is so soft it almost levitates. It's homespun and airy, like Stina Nordenstam but with a bit more activity near the surface. This says so much by saying so little. A gem.” |mp3hugger

"Her words sit in direct competition with society's obsession with instant gratification, with the shiny and the shallow. Across 'Fallen Branches' Murray sings of the search for authenticity, a theme that runs throughout her album... Throughout Woodland Voices she proves to be a talented wordsmith, painting vivid pictures without the need to resort to cliche." |When The Gramophone Rings
